Multivariate survival analysis for CD37 expression adjusting clinical factors and molecular biomarkers associated with CD37+/− in overall DLBCL, GCB-DLBCL, and ABC-DLBCL, and multivariate analysis in CD37+ GCB-DLBCL. The cutoffs for high/positive expression of p50, p65, p-STAT3, Myc, CXCR4, survivin, and p63 were ≥20%, ≥50%, ≥50%, ≥70%, ≥20%, >25%, and >5%, respectively. P values designating statistical significance, and the HR and 95% CI for CD37 status, are highlighted in bold.

*

Two different models were used to include either CD37+ or CD37 as 1 variant separately.

Two different Cox regression models were used to include either MYC-R+ or Mychigh as 1 variant separately. MYC rearrangement was not included as a variant in the multivariate analysis in CD37+ GCB-DLBCL because of limited case numbers.
